1.Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Samsung was the first company to bring its 2016 flagship smartphone to Pakistan. Samsung's latest Android phone offers an updated specification
sheet, and refines the whole glass and metal design introduced with the
Galaxy S6 range of Android phones in 2016. It is waterproof, and
supports microSD cards of up to 200GB. Samsung has used an all new
Exynos 8890 SoC on the new Galaxy S7 Edge, and there is 4GB of RAM along
with 32GB of internal storage. It features an AMOLED display with
2560x1440-pixel resolution, but the screen size has been increased from
5.1 inches to 5.5 inches. This has allowed Samsung to increase the
battery size from 2600mAh to 3600mAh, which allows it to offer better
battery life. The biggest change in the phone, though, is the new 12MP
Dual Pixel camera, which shoots amazing photographs even in low light.
All of these combine to make the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge the best Android
phone to buy in Pakistan today.
2. LG G5
LG's flagship smartphone, LG G5, is also the world’s first modular
smartphone. This Android phone from LG offers a metal build and
fingerprint sensor. It has the best specifications currently available
on latest Android mobiles. The LG G5 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon
820 SoC. There is 4GB of RAM and 32GB of native storage, along with
microSD card support of up to 200GB. The smaller, 5.3-inch display is a
delight to look at, and offers 2560x1440-pixel screen resolution. The
colours of the display are among the most well-balanced of the latest
Android phones. The removable battery is small, but lasts for a day. LG
will also be selling various accessories under its Friends ecosystem for
the LG G5, including a camera grip with extra battery, an external
amplifier and more.
3.OnePlus 3
The OnePlus 3 has grabbed the third position on our ‘best phones to buy’
with ease. This Android phone is an all-rounder, and offers the best
performance-to-price ratio among the latest flagship Android phones.
This is the first time that OnePlus made an all-metal smartphone, and
while the phone is reminiscent of the HTC One M9, it is still a good
design. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC and has 6GB
of RAM. The 16MP camera on the back does not disappoint either and
offers PDAF as well as OIS. Like most latest Android phones, battery
life is not that great, but still manages to go on for a whole day on a
single charge.
4.HTC 10
The HTC 10 is another great Android phone to look for in the flagship
smartphone range. The HTC 10 flaunts the suave HTC design, with latest
generation hardware to boot. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC,
the HTC 10 offers great multi-tasking abilities. The OIS-assisted 12MP
UltraPixel rear camera is great to shoot with, and you also get OIS on
the front camera. HTC has also mastered the 2K display, and the 5.2-inch
LCD5 2K resolution panel looks beautiful from all angles. However, the
best part is the audio quality, which gives the best music quality you
can get on any Android mobile available for purchase today.
5.Xiaomi Mi5
Xiaomi’s two-year-long wait for the Mi 5 translated into a massive
upgrade over its previous flagship smartphone in Pakistan, the Mi 4. Xiaomi
has given this Android phone a complete makeover, fusing an incredibly
ergonomic body with a glass-and-metal chassis. It has a 5.15-inch
display that offers a well-balanced colour gamut and Full HD screen
resolution. The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC,
like most other flagship Android phones in India. Only the 3GB RAM-32GB
storage variant has been launched in Pakistan, but this itself offers
fluent performance. The 16MP primary camera has 4-axis OIS, and is very
fast. Also, the 3000mAh battery should last you through the entire work
day, comfortably.
6.Huawei P9
The Huawei P9 is a flagship Android phone, and features all the hardware
you can expect from a phone in this league, including a brilliant
camera. It offers a two-camera setup with Leica-certified SUMMARIT
lenses, which facilitates shooting the best ‘bokeh’ effects available on
a latest Android phone. The device is powered by a Kirin 955 SoC, which
is not as powerful as the competing Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, but still
manages to deliver decent multi-tasking and gaming performance. The
Huawei P9 also offers one the best designs and build quality among the
latest Android phones.
7.Samsung Galaxy Note 5
The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is another great Android phone, particularly
when productivity is concerned. Last year’s Samsung flagship is still
one of the fastest Android phones to buy in Pakistan. It features a bright,
5.7-inch AMOLED display with 2K screen resolution, offering good
viewing angles and S-Pen compatibility. Powered by Samsung’s previous
generation Exynos 7420 SoC, the Galaxy Note 5 is still one of the
fastest Android phones in the market. The larger footprint allows for a
larger battery, and this phone can easily last you for a day, even if
you are a power user. The 16MP rear camera is good too, and even offers
4K video recording.
8.Samsung Galaxy S6
The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a year old now, but still beats a lot of other
Android phones to be on this list. It houses an excellent 16MP camera
with OIS, and is powered by the Exynos 7420 SoC. The combination of
these two factors makes it an excellent overall device. The Galaxy S6
features an excellent 5.1-inch AMOLED display with 2560x1440-pixel
resolution. The glass-and-metal construction on this Android phone laid
foundation for Samsung’s resurgence on the design front. The Galaxy S6
is available in 32GB and 64GB variants, and 3GB of RAM on board handles
all kinds of heavy multitasking, making it rank among the best Android
phones to buy in Pakistan today.
9.LG Nexus 5X 32GB
A successor to the LG Nexus 5, the Nexus 5X offers all the joys of using
a Nexus smartphone. This Android phone sports a 5.2-inch Full HD IPS
display with good colour accuracy and sharpness. It is powered by a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC that provides stable performance, and the
Android mobile is available in two storage variants – 16GB and 32GB (we
suggest you go for the 32GB variant). In the camera department, the
Nexus 5X features a similar setup as the Nexus 6P - a 12.3MP primary
camera module with laser-assisted autofocus.
10.Moto X Force
The Moto X Force is the world’s first Android phone with a “shatterproof
display”. The 5.4-inch AMOLED display with 2560x1440-pixel screen
resolution is protected from accidental screen cracks, thanks to Moto's
ShatterShield technology. Powered by the Snapdragon 810 SoC, it is the
most powerful smartphone in Moto’s lineup in India. This translates to
good performance for this Android phone, and Moto has further optimised
the hardware and software to offer better battery life. The rear camera
is quite competent, and with the latest price drop, this is among the
best Android phones to buy in Pakistan.
